This is an espresso blend roasted by Zolo Coffee Roasters, a specialty coffee roaster based in Northern California. The coffee is sold as whole bean and individually roasted in an artisan style.
ZOLO began in 2013 as a family project by Dave, Laurie, and their son Nick, and has grown into a vertically integrated roasting operation in Berkeley, California. The company handles every step from sourcing to distribution, roasting on Loring machines designed for energy efficiency and low carbon output. ZOLO sources directly from small lot farmers, paying well above commodity prices, and holds Rainforest Alliance certification. Designated as both woman owned and veteran owned, the company donates spent coffee grounds to local farmers for composting, closing the loop on its production cycle. It is a roaster that grew from a family's shared curiosity into a serious, values driven operation.
